There we go. 67.7. Tell Tina to ship it.
I have a few different runs of CPCs. I'll measure today.There we go. 67.7. Tell Tina to ship it.
Final edit:25 x 40 mm
2 x 43 mm
If the new cards are in stock by then, will lump some in with that order
Awesome idea. Please update us if this gets any traction with Tina. I would think a 68mm width should work for most CPC and older ASM/Burt chips. I have a few old LGK chips that come in at 68.5mm, but those are probably outliers.
Did this shipment arrive, or is it already sold out?
My horse head CPCs fit snugly in the Amazon 68mm racks. There is no wiggle room at all, and I wouldnt want smaller racks than 68mm for Horse head CPCs. Standard size racks have a bit of wiggle but only hold 20/row.FWIW, my experience with ASM and CPC chips is that most fit well in 67.7mm racks.
Yeah, in the measurements I made with a caliper, a barrel that is 67.5mm fits nice and snug...68mm is to wide, sadly.My horse head CPCs fit snugly in the Amazon 68mm racks.

Will have to update once Justin's racks arrive.
I agree that we should not try to cut it too close. Who knows how tight the manufacturing tolerances will be. Better to be a touch too big and be able to handle more chips than to be a touch too tight and have some chips still not fit.My horse head CPCs fit snugly in the Amazon 68mm racks.

So here we go. Three different molds. Looks like the CSQ are thicker than the others CPCs I have. Added a minty barrel of white THCs and a paulson rack for comparison. The difference in the barrels between thicker CPC and THC is about 1.7 mm. The tolerance in the Justin racks may be why most CPCs don't fit. There's less than a tenth of a mm to work with. From my stock, looks like a 67.8 would do the trick (CSQ rounders 100 came in at 67.7, last photo). But this would leave the Paulsons with over a mm to wriggle around. Idk if we can hold that tolerance to a tenth for a CPC variant of the justin rack.If have a few different runs of CPCs. I'll measure today.
Many of my CPC rounders barrels were around 67.5 which fit ok, but depending on the color or an errant thicker chip, some barrels went over 68mm...which is far too wide.So here we go.

I expected differences between molds. I guess keeping the tolerance below 1/40th of a mm per chip isn't going to happen. It's actually not that much. Kudos to the manufacturers for even getting a barrel within a mm of target.Many of my CPC rounders barrels were around 67.5 which fit ok, but depending on the color or an errand thicker chip, some barrels went over 68mm...which is far too wide.
I am increasing my order by 9 please:@justincarothers, I would like to order:
17 x 40mm
Please put me on the order list and invoice me when you it is time.
1 equals one set (top and bottom)Im interested in buying a couple. I’m assuming that I have to buy 2 for top and bottom or does 1 equal a set?
Post your order here and Justin will reach out.Am I able to order these?
1 is a set, top and bottom, closed rack.Im interested in buying a couple. I’m assuming that I have to buy 2 for top and bottom or does 1 equal a set?
